For long - distance rough road rides, use drop bars and 29' wheels. When installing racks or fenders, use the provided mounts. Before each ride, check the brakes, wheel tightness, and the seat collar. As for maintenance, keep the frame clean. After riding in wet or dirty conditions, wash it with mild soap and water.
